Let's work together on our projects for afghans for Afghans.
It's a knit-along; it's a crochet-along!

Hi,I'm Jane. I have been contributing to afghans for afghans for a while now and I have always enjoyed reading the blog. I never contributed to the old blog however. Somehow in the move I've been motivated to post.

THE BASICS

afghans for Afghans is a people-to-people project that knits and crochets wool garments as a practical gesture of friendship and respect for the people of Afghanistan. In partnership with the San Francisco office of the American Friends Service Committee, our project started in late 2001 in response to the war that unfolded after 9/11. This follows a long-time tradition of knitting for others at times of war and crisis. Afghan families still need to know that we care. Join us here for camaraderie, inspiration, and mutual support with projects.
